What LCE2JE is
LCE2JE is a free converter that turns Minecraft Legacy Console Edition Windows64 .ms world saves into standard Minecraft Java Edition 1.6.4 saves. It is designed specifically for the leaked Windows64 build of Legacy Console Edition. An interactive graphical interface guides conversion and scans player profiles so users can choose which profile becomes the Java Edition host. The tool extracts the proprietary archive, translates chunk and NBT data, and rebuilds a Java Edition world folder. After conversion, the output folder opens automatically and can be copied into .minecraft/saves. The pipeline sanitizes LCE string UUIDs and rebuilds Java Edition UUID integers to help prevent crashes when upgrading converted worlds. Converted chunks and metadata are written to temporary files until writing is complete. Portable Windows and Linux executables are available and need no Python or other installed dependencies. The repository also includes command-line scripts for converting Java Edition 1.6.4 worlds back to LCE, but advanced use requires installing dependencies from requirements.txt. The software is GPL-3.0 licensed and is not an official Minecraft product or endorsed by Mojang.
